Christmas Audioasis starting off w/ some seasonal Lanegan. One has to wonder what Lanegan's doing on this Christmas Eve.

Dandy Warhols covering "Little Drummer Boy" as a Beatles song, which works unsurprisingly.

Brite Futures, formerly Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, broke up back in 2012, but leave us with this really good Wham cover. Claire from Brite Futures is in Dude York now, which is cool.

Bread & Butter's drummer participated in a Seattle Times survey of musicians' favorite Xmas Songs: www.seattletimes.com.

Classic track from Tacoma greats The Sonics, as featured on the Here Are The Sonics album from 1965.

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band put out three LPs on Dead Oceans before their breakup back in 2012.

Gorgeous Tom Waits cover from Ms. Neko Case, who should be working on a new record around now. She has a barn in Vermont filled with pianos.

Exclusive Christmas single from Seattle's Thunderpussy, featuring Pearl Jam's Mike McCready on guitar.

The only Christmas song that matters, when it comes down to it. Audioasis wishes Doug Martsch a very happy holidays.

Known as the closing song from Adventure Time, and a very good song in its own right. Cane out on K Records back in 2009.

Silkworm singing about codeine in the holiday season.

The dear, departed THEESatisfaction from their 2009 EP Snow Motion. Luckily, both THEESatisfaction masterminds are keeping busy-- Cat put out her debut Sassy Black LP earlier this year, and Stas hosts KEXP's Street Sounds.

First time I heard this was genuinely mind-blowing. Ish outdid himself. Let's hope for a new Shabazz record in 2017.

Fleet Foxes from the 1st Fleet Foxes LP, released back in 2008. A new record is on the way at long last.

Parenthetical Girls member Jherek Bischoff released the Cistern album earlier this year. No word on new Parenthetical Girls material.

New holiday-oriented punk from local outfit Black Nite Crash: blacknitecrash.bandcamp.com.

Holiday themed LP from Bazan released on Suicide Squeeze earlier this year. David played a really wonderful in-studio earlier this week, which will be online soon.

More phallic symbol imagery in this track than previously remembered. Great tune though from our friends The Green Pajamas, from the Indian Winter LP.

Deep Sea Diver will be at the Sunset on February 2-4, 2017. One of many Deep Sea Diver Xmas songs.

Shelby Earl is currently at work on a new record, which will likely be released this upcoming year.

Prime era Modest Mouse-- from the vital Building Nothing out of Something comp, released in 2000. Not a Xmas song exactly, but we'll stretch.

Some winter-themed Helio Sequence from the Negotiations LP.

Cumulus put out their debut album several years ago, entitled I Never Meant It To Be Like This.

Christmas wishes from Blitzen Trapper. The band's latest is entitled All Across the Land.

Ben Gibbard sounds characteristically bummed out on this Xmas track, which is probably for the best. From the Chris Walla-era of Death Cab.

The very talented Ms. Veirs released an album last year in collaboration with Neko Case and k.d. lang. This track comes from her 2004 LP Carbon Glacier.

Featuring Corin of Sleater-Kinney, and Sarah of The Crabs, neither of whom get enough respect. Really cool record from Cadallaca, who put out two records.

Seasonal Unwound, which sounds pretty excellent in a Christmas context. From the massive Leaves Turn Inside You LP.

Once listened to a d.j. not get that TacocaT was referencing Nirvana w/ their album name. Pretty awkward, if you're impacted by that kind of thing.

Fastbacks's closest thing to a Christmas song. From the wonderful ...and his Orchestra record, which came out on Popllama.

Classified as Horror Rock by Wikipedia, which seems accurate.
